对于duì yú一yī个gè在zài北běi平píng住zhù惯guàn的de人rén,像xiàng我wǒ,冬天dōng tiān要是yào shi不bù刮风guā fēng,便biàn觉得jué de是shì奇迹qí jì;济jì南nán的de冬天dōng tiān是shì没有méi yǒu风fēng声shēng的de。

To someone used to Peking's winds, a windless winter is a miracle — Jinan's winters are windless.

一yī个gè老lǎo城chéng,有yǒu山shān有yǒu水shuǐ,全quán在zài天tiān底下dǐ xia晒shài着zhuó阳光yáng guāng,暖和nuǎn huo安ān适shì地dì睡着shuì zháo,只zhī等děng春chūn风fēng来lái把bǎ它们tā men唤huàn醒xǐng。

The old city, mountains and water, lies sunning under the sky, warm, asleep, waiting for spring's waking.

最zuì妙miào的de是shì下xià点diǎn小xiǎo雪xuě呀ya。看kān吧ba,山shān上shàng的de矮ǎi松sōng越发yuè fā的de青qīng黑hēi,树shù尖jiān上shàng顶dǐng着zhuó一yī髻jì儿ér白bái花huā。

Best of all is a light snow — the pines on the hills grow blacker, each tip wearing a white bun.

济jì南nán是shì受shòu不bù住zhù大dà雪xuě的de,那些nà xiē小xiǎo山shān太tài秀xiù气qì。

Jinan can't bear heavy snow — those little hills are too delicate.
